Mail Art Show looking for Poem-Makers +++++
Call for Work
Call for Work - Calling all Artists
The making of mail as art, “mail art” has a history stretching back at least to the 1950s. Mail art has in the past rooted in a rejection of the commerce and exclusivity of the gallery show. The making of mail art, “mail-art” continues to be a common practice in an age dominated by electronic communication. This exhibition will continue to break down the division between the mailbox and the gallery. To that end, Niagara County Community College Art Gallery is seeking submissions for an upcoming exhibition, aiming to display the myriad manifestations of mail art. Artists working in all media are encouraged to participate. The topic and content of each piece is solely the choice of the artist. Artists are asked to produce one piece of mail art and send it to guest curator Becky Moda. Your work will be displayed in a cataloged group exhibition in the Spring. After the exhibition closes, each participating artist will receive via mail the work of another artist. “Senders receive,” as mail artists say.
The mail art movement is uniquely populist and non-commercial, involving non-traditional distribution methods and the potential for global reach. Let's breathe new life into this fascinating movement, which predated and in some ways predicted the artist networking boom enabled by the internet.
It is asked that the artists adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Please send one piece of mail art to: Mail Art, NCCC Gallery, Niagara County Community College, 3111 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn, New York 14132-9460 by February 14, 2008.
2. The mail art can take any shape, in two or three dimensions. Pieces can expand when opened, but must be easily re-mailed for less than five dollars.
Email any questions to beckymoda@gmail.com

CALLS 2008
The mailbox from all that it comes for this way. El Taller de Zenon tries to classify it, but not always it coincides with the author. The border between the different artistic fields every day is mas diffuse and the theoretical ones do not put in agreement in the limits of every field. After years of study to discover the differences, we have decided that only the author is authorized to decide where to fit his work.

ABC BOOK BY MISTER ROSE
Mister Rose's ABC : A Little Book For Little People has just been published by Lalande Digital Art Press Paris. The 3-page, full-color book features original gouache paintings and poetic tongue-twisters that follow the alphabet from Arnold the annoying Airplane to (tough and dumb) Luck to Nero the Nail (he lives in a wall in Mister Rose's house) to the yackety Ying-Yangs and finally, Zoe the zaftig Zebra. Saddle-stitched and impeccably printed by digital master, Robert Ruscoe at Lalande, Mister Rose's ABC is really a book for kids of all ages, a perfect cadeau de Noël or New Year's gift."Parents will have an enjoyable time reading this to their toddlers and trying to figure out why Ditzy, the deaf-as-a-door knob dog, is always digging and dancing," says Ruscoe who has two little boys. "My favorite is Nero the Nail, or maybe Romney's Rain – "Hey! Don't Complain!"
The play of words and images is typical of the artist's imagination, which is pleasantly skewed towards the impossible and the poetic. "W" is Wally Water, he writes. "Wally is originally from Wabash." Nero the nail "lives in my house," he explains. Karl, his kitten, "computes with a flute." Parents will have quite a time explaining where Wabash is and how you compute with musical instruments.
"It's the kind of kid's book," says the author's father, Irving, "that will probably drive parents crazy attempting to explain the strange words and weird and funny situations. And hey, I know! He's my son!"
Matthew Rose is an American artist and writer based in Paris, France. He exhibits his collages, text works, paintings and objects throughout the US and Europe. This is his first published children's book. To see more of his work, click Collage By Matthew Rose.
The ABC, published in English, is specially-priced for web sales at only 10 € each (plus 2 euros postage for France and Europe; 4 € postage for the US). Ordering is easy: Checks (in Euros) or PayPal accepted. Bulk orders (10 - 25) are 7,50 €; orders of 50 or more 5 € each. If you like, the author will sign and dedicate the books if you are giving them as a Christmas or New Year's gift to someone little or even someone big.
For more information on this book, or to find how how to produce your own books, or heck, maybe you just want to order one or two or three books now, contact MISTER ROSE'S ABC. [If mail link is not working, e mail : mistahrose at yahoo dot com]. And yes, this book (well, its original gouache works) were mailed. The cover is actually the mailed work – the top of the box – sent to Mayor Tom, 3 years old, a resident of New York.

Burlesque is a direct descendant of the Commedia dell'arte where principal characters would carry a "burle" - a stick with a padded end - with which they would slap the other players for comic effect *the origin of "slapstick" comedy. Burlesque performers often create elaborate sets with lush, colorful costumers, mood appropriate music and dramatic lighting. Burlesque is a style of entertainment that encompasses pastiche, parody and wit. Send me some Burlesque mail art!

From Judith Hoffberg - USA
Dear Artist:
We invite you to exhibit in "Your Documents Please" a traveling show we are sponsoring that will open April 4, 2008 in Japan at the Museum of Arts and CraftsItami.
We are seeking work that functions visually or conceptually as if it were an identification document. and is about the size of a conventional passport (and flat enough to transport easily). This could mean that the work addresses pre-existing forms of ID (such as Passports or drivers' licenses) and their political connotations (such as bureaucracy, profiling, the image a country projects to outsiders, the nature of identity, etc.) or it could mean any small scale art work (abstract, figure, text, etc.) since any personal expression can be thought of as a form of identification.
There will be artists from many countries participating, especially including Japan, Hungary and Slovakia where we already have venues to exhibit as well as the US where we also expect it will travel. Having the broadest range of interpretations of a Passport size ID document in an international context with many artists will maximize the interest for viewers of the exhibition. Instead of labels for the works, we plan to generate standardized ID documents from supporting materials submitted by email which will be displayed below each artist's work.
The ID artwork must be in Brooklyn or Japan by March 20, 2008 in order for it to be in the April 4 opening. We wish to get preliminary confirmation of participation before December 15.
Please visit our website:
http://www.maruda.info/
which has further information and will be updated regularly. Also, our contact in Slovakia is working on funding for an exhibition catalogue.
Please reply as soon as possible and feel free to ask us or the curators if you have further questions. Also let us know how to contact others who you think we should invite to participate.
Yours,
András Böröcz and Robbin Silverberg

PORTRAIT MAILART CALL
On September 12 2006 I started a project titled, "A
Face A Day". I've drawn a face inspired by someone,
something, alive, dead, make believe.... each and
every day through to September 12th 2007. These drawings
are created on a small piece of linoleum and then
eventually cut out and printed in a small edition, to date I have 74
images printed up with the remainder of the images
just waiting to be cut out.
As I print these images I usually print a few extra
onto postcard weight pieces, some make it into the
mail, others sit around my studio waiting for a chance
to take a trip through the postal system.
I've been fascinated with mailart my whole life and
thought this would be a great opportunity to exchange
work with other mail artists from around the world.
In keeping with my "A Face A Day" project, I'd like to
exchange postcards with your version of a portrait.
Once again the subject of the portrait is up to your
interpretation of that.
End date is May 22 2008, and your postcards will be posted

Moved my blogs to one place!
Hello to all mail artists out there, I just wanted to update everyone that I have moved these blogs below:
So now everything is in one place! I am still uploading the photos for each project page, so in a few hours it will be complete. You can still email me with your mail art calls at:
sharonzimmer at comcast dot net (please put those together) or send me snail mail with your info. Be sure to put "mail art" in the subject line. Please pass on this info to other mail artists you know or cross post on other mail art lists. My mailing address hasn't changed and is located on each page.
Thanks,
Sharon
